Real Madrid to monetise 110m Facebook following with $2.77 subscription

December 20 – Real Madrid have launched a new Facebook subscription service costing $2.77 as the club seeks monetise their giant following  of a 110 million on the social media platform.

The service will deliver exclusive Real Madrid content, as well as club promotions and a private supporters discussion group. Subscribers will also have the opportunity to display the club’s crest on both their Facebook profiles and comments as a ‘sticker.’

With the launch Madrid follow in the footsteps of their Catalan rivals FC Barcelona in offering a Facebook subscription model. Barcelona launched their version in September with similar benefits at a cost of $2.99 per month.

On Wednesday, Madrid played out a scoreless draw against rivals Barcelona at the Nou Camp in a match that failed to deliver on the field and was overshadowed off it by clashes outside the ground in which dozens got injured.
